I first met Peter “Stix” Lockwood while I was a serving member of HMS Ceres when we were invited to attend games at Elland Road during the remembrance period.  Afterwards, in the Players” Lounge, you could tell by his reception from both players and invited guests that Stix is a highly respected member of the Leeds United Community, along with the City of Leeds as an entirety.  His smile and can-do-attitude have been instrumental in achieving his status as a club legend and is deservedly so when you look at his achievements for charities, as well as civic pride.  His community spirit and willingness to help people has been reiterated by Jermaine Beckford recently on television when commending Stix personally for his attitude in helping young players at Elland Road – not many backroom staff are complemented on national TV by modern players and Jermaine”s gratitude was heart felt and genuine.  In 2016 I suffered a life changing injury which has left me permanently disabled.  During my early recovery phase I literally “bumped” into Stix at Starbucks, and he remembered me from attending games at Elland Road as part of HMS Ceres ship company.  We had a chat, and he was concerned about the nature of my injuries and showed kindness in helping me out with my wheelchair manoevures, as well as helping my wife with coffees etc.  He was his ever-positive self and several weeks later I was surprised to receive an invitation from Leeds United to attend a game in one of the boxes.  Stix was able to arrange a box for myself and a seriously ill Warrant Officer who was also in a wheelchair.  I can wholeheartedly say that we both had a tremendous day and even witnessed a Leeds United victory.  I know that the both of us will always be indebted to Stix for his caring and community spirit for achieving this not too small concession for two injured servicemen.  I would like to thank Stix for his hard work and dedication to Leeds United, as well as the City of Leeds, and wish him well in his future endeavours.

I have been a Leeds fan since I was 4 back in 1973, been up and down with them. Being Irish my affinity with them was purely by chance but I never wavered, once a white always a white. This was taken to a whole other level when I was bringing my 2 boys over for their first Leeds game 7 years ago. Ryan Air being a bunch of xxxxx wouldn’t let my youngest travel as they ask for passports, so I had to leave him behind. It was Easter weekend and we lost due to a stupid sending off. On the Sunday we were hanging around in the city centre with everything closed wasting time before flying home all dressed up in Leeds gear. A gentleman and his Mrs walked up to us and started talking about the game and was very interested in why we were hanging around. Turned out it was Stix and he said he would send my son at home a signed pic of the squad which he did. Brought my Son to the next home game and Stix took care of us. We met the players, their families and also the manager.
Fantastic Man, he is Leeds to me.

Wow. Out on my Sunday morning bike ride and called for a coffee. Who did I bump into? Of course the main man. Lovely to chat to you and apologies if I intruded on your Sunday morning shopping. Scratching my head why we would not have him back TBH.

I was heading to see my son in Calgary at short notice for Christmas and I got in touch with Stix through his daughter Shauna, and next thing I’m meeting him before the Brentford match. It was the first time I had met him in person and what a humble and lovely bloke. In less than three days he got Marcelo to sign a print and get it to me in the post. My son was over the moon, even though he doesn’t look it in the photo ha ha, and I can’t thank Stix enough. In my opinion the club lost two great people this year and Leeds United Football Club was better with both of them part of it. Marcelo understood what it is to be Leeds, and Peter “Stix” epitomises that, and hopefully he is soon back where he belongs.

Thanks for your support, we enjoyed being hosted at Elland Road as a family in 2014 before Robert left the Royal Navy to join the Australian Navy….coming back to Leeds this year for a Christmas filled with Leeds United games where our girls will experience fully the atmosphere x
Thank you Stix

First met Stix for a stadium tour in 2010. Was so interesting and fun we ended up doing again a couple years later! Got to know Stix better through work, were you can tell what a genuine guy he is.
Massive loss to the club currently for both players and fans!

What can I say other than you are a true gentleman Stix. You have a massive heart and a beautiful family.
Since taking over at the Moot I have had a few interactions with this amazing man.
The most recent being the book signing we held for Salim 🤍💙💛
Nothing is ever to much trouble, you really are a man for the people.
I think you knew how much it meant to me and the LUFC supporters to have you in the pub those nights during the book signing.  It made the whole event complete for me and everyone else.  I really hope it helped you to see just how loved you are x
We love you Stix.  Keep being you don”t ever change 💛💙🤍 mot xxxx
Pint behind the bar for you whenever you want 😉

A true gentleman and legend of our club, nothing ever too much trouble, made things happen for my son after having a major operation which got him back involved with football which he loved, always asked and kept in touch over many years and to this day which I can never thank him enough x, his knowledge, loyalty and love of our club is second to none and invaluable , you can”t buy or replace this type of person , it”s impossible x🤍💙💛 thanks for everything Stix x

A great tribute to an absolute legend and loyal servant of this fantastic club for so many years. You have been the soul and heartbeat of Leeds United for decades and in this day and age you rarely see such dedication and commitment. To have this recognised for all to see through the website is wonderful and it is a great historical record that must bring back many happy memories for you. The work you do for the military, charities and supporters is so important and you should feel so proud of everything you have achieved and all the good you have done for so many people over so many years. You are an absolute star, one in a million and I am proud to call you a friend.
Stay safe, keep healthy and take care.

Stix is Mr Leeds United. 60 years working at the club in one form or another, his blood is white, yellow and blue. His work helping charities is appreciated across the city by many, many people. He must have amazing stories to tell about working with so many great managers and players. MOT Stix
